Cycling in Eastleigh

Eastleigh Borough Council is committed to creating a
comprehensive network of cycle routes across the Borough.
Already a substantial part of this network has been built,
particularly in Eastleigh itself, and in Hedge End. In
total there are over 44Km of dedicated cycle routes within the
Borough with over 40 locations with cycle parking facilities,
including at all the railway stations serving
the Borough.

Borough-wide Cycle Map

A Borough-wide cycle map is available to help you plan
your cycle journeys and find new, convenient and safe
routes around the Borough and beyond. This map has recently
been updated for 2014.

By inputting your start point and destination, you can search
for the quickest, quietest or most pleasant route for your
cycle trip. The route is then displayed on a map with turn by turn
instructions. The gradient profile of the route, the journey
distance and the estimated time are also included.

TransportDirect also offer a similar cycle journey planner.
